L'Anse Mitan

L'Anse Mitan is the name of both a road and a district located northeast of Moruga in Trinidad and Tobago. It is an alternative route to the nationally renowned La Retrait sea bathing spot. L'anse Mitan Road, at the mouth of the Moruga River, is noted as the site at which Christopher Columbus landed in Trinidad and Tobago in 1498. The coastline along the road is the site of one of the longest mangrove swamps on the southern coat of Trinidad.
